Boman Irani’s Emotional Tribute as Son Kayoze Makes Directorial Debut with Sarzameen

In a heartwarming blend of cinematic legacy and familial pride, veteran actor Boman Irani took to social media to celebrate a monumental moment—his son Kayoze Irani’s directorial debut with Sarzameen, backed by none other than Dharma Productions. For the Irani family, 2025 isn’t just another year—it’s a generational double debut, with both father and son stepping behind the camera for the very first time.

 

Boman, known for his charisma and comic timing, showed a softer, deeply personal side as he posted a string of nostalgic throwback images of Kayoze. From grainy childhood snapshots to behind-the-scenes moments on film sets, the captions read like pages from a proud father’s diary. “It’s showtime, folks!” he captioned one frame, before proudly announcing, “Fast forward to today… my son Kayoze just directed his first film, Sarzameen.”

 

The proud papa didn’t miss the chance to share a bit of father-son humour either. “Both father and son made their directorial debuts in the same year,” Boman quipped. “Thankfully, I managed mine a few months earlier!” His own film, The Mehta Boys, has already stirred curiosity in film circles, while Sarzameen boasts an impressive cast—Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Ibrahim Ali Khan in his acting debut.

 

In another post, Boman reflected on their early filmmaking journey, sharing a touching moment: “He started off holding the clapboard for me. And now? He’s calling the shots...” The sentiment hit home for many, highlighting how film dreams often begin not on set, but in the quiet corners of childhood—watching, learning, and waiting for the right moment.

 

The most moving tribute, however, was a cheeky side-by-side of a younger Boman with Kayoze and a present-day image, paired with the line: “Always knew I’d direct something one day… Same... just didn’t know it would take me 65 years.” In that single frame, a lifetime of love, patience, and shared ambition is captured.

 

Boman Irani closed his emotional tribute with a line every parent can relate to: “There are moments in a father’s life that stay... this one will remain forever.” With that, he reminded fans and film lovers alike that behind the glamour of premieres and the spotlight of showbiz, there’s something far more enduring—family, legacy, and love passed from one storyteller to the next.
